Strong, and right for the subject Russell.

Great portrait, love the dark and light here.

Very powerful, beautiful portrait Russell.

A very striking portrait. The values are used very well.

Great skin tones

Great angle Russell.

Thanks John, Heather, Carole, Ron, Christine and Dawn for your comments.

Another tremendous piece, Russell. I saw this on the front page of POL and immediately clicked to see who'd painted such a fine portrait. But it's more than a portrait, it's a study of mood, character and thought, where the viewer is drawn into the world and mind of the sitter. Your application and use of light and shadow is top drawer. Beautiful study! Bri

A sensitive portrait with terrific light especially on his forehead.

That's very kind of you Bri, and thank you Tessa.

Got all the hallmarks of a great artist Russell and it's nice to let go now and again

Brilliant Russell.

Superb Russell. Great light and shadows.

Thank you Dennis, Carole and Val.
